About the Business

Rev N Shift Automotive Pty Ltd is an automotive repair and servicing workshop based in Sunshine North, in Melbourne’s western suburbs. The business provides vehicle servicing, mechanical repairs, diagnostics and roadworthy inspections for local motorists, and has built its operation around three commitments: quality workmanship, vehicle safety and attentive customer service. Every vehicle that leaves the workshop is expected to be repaired properly, tested thoroughly and explained clearly to its owner. The workshop runs as a small, close-knit team in which each person takes direct responsibility for the standard of their work, and it values honesty with customers, care for the vehicles entrusted to it and a safe, orderly working environment.
